Summary:
The Edelbach is a karstic rappel and hiking canyon, often visited by avalanches, and is mainly fed by the Stablsee lake and a cave. In terms of water, you have to pass through the stream a few times, where you can expect to find niches and holes. The two large narrow sections (middle and end) are compulsory and have no emergency exit. There are few slides and no jumps. Avalanche wood and rock chaos have to be downclimbed. In terms of ropes, only a lowered structure and possibly rope traverses were necessary. The emergency exits are all steep and grassy. Avalanche debris remains in the stream until midsummer. An interesting combination of cave and stream is now possible. The abseil station is approx. 5m orographically to the right below the cave entrance. The cave, which always carries water, is approx. 60m long with a small waterfall. (Do not forget your Hirabira (headlamp))
